Tags on the backs of shirts, etc.

Those stitched-on tags on the backs of shirts, sweaters, etc.:

 



                    GET RID OF THEM!

 

 



They make my neck itch so bad that I either can't wear it at all, or I try snipping them off and risk leaving a tear in the fabric.

I hate these too.  I remove them with a seam ripper.  It takes some time as almost each stitch has to be cut and picked out.

D & Co. is the one I'd like to scream at.  Their tops - after washing the tag becomes a twisted crunched mess.  Cheap

This is funny because I can say I've never been bothered by a tag, never scratched, etc.  Wouldnt occur to me to complain about it.

I purchased a seam ripper because most scissors put holes in materials!

It occured to me because I hate having my skin rubbed raw.

@Kachina624 I don’t doubt you, and wish I wasn’t bothered by tags. The skin irritation caused by some side seam tags boarders on painful. It’s a combination of the tag material and the place it hits me and sensitive skin. I am thrilled when neck tags are not used but the side tag is my nemesis.

I dislike those tags on tops. Many of Isaac Mizrahi's tops have them - and others are imprinted with his name, etc. I'll never buy tops with tags.
